on the great woman of Shunern. Shu-
mem would have never been noticed in
history but for this noble woman. Her
greatness seen in the greatness Of her
Inequalities, Hospitality to Gods
prophet. Many volumes have been
written on the hardships aud trials OF
the lives of ministers. 1t would bs we'll
TO have n volume on the glorieR, beau.
ties and bleRsedness of the lifa
of the minister, The patti
ence of thir great m uadef
af1lotion her p,ety and her faith
made prominent. Her name is not given,
the name of her husband is not given.
Such a woman needs no other name than
that which her deeds of mercy and her
acts of piety give her. Long after we
are here no more the woman OF Shunem
will be fresh in the memory OF the Inv.
ing. At night he discoursed from the
text:"Being dead yet speaketh." Theme:
Influence of our own deeds following
u.s." II we set our affections on earthly

to the remains of Mr.. Anderson, q COM

Pastor Bradley discoursed IN the morn
ing on Gods requirements from the
words-He hath showed thee, 0 man,
what is good and what doth the Lord re-
quire of thee, but to be just, and to love
many and to walk humbly with thy God.
He showed the reasonableneas OF the
divine requirement. That it was easy
and that every man can comply with it.
Some deem o religious life as q mysteri-
Gus process. Whereas God did not want
process at all but simply q
compliance with his requirements.
At night hi gave his people an excellent
discourse on "Fhe Prodigal Son., which
he divided into two parts. "The Prodi-
gal Astray and the ProdIgal's Return"

for next Sabbath evening. OF the two
soaslhe said the elder was a worker. The
younger restleas, visionary, possessed OF
q noisy disposition, impatient OF paren-
tai restraint. The father gave to each
son his portion. God gives to each of
his creatures o portion, To each an
education. This portion ever q goodIy
inheritance. The younger con goes as
far off az possible from bis home. His
money goes fast. Riotous living even
uses up oar means maryelousiy fast.
V aen he had spent all his money,
wasted his reputation and character
then came the mighty famine. His
degradation nov complete, joined to a
citizen of that far off land, he became
6 swine herder. Even in that business
he was in terrible want and lived on tho
husks, the food for the swine. No man
cared for him. No man gave unto him.
The very ones who led him into ruin
now turn from him.
Wednesday night instead Of Thanks
giving night the Thanksgiving roll will
be called al the prayer meeting.

Tollsome. yet every step nesrer God.

the malaria and foga are below us.
Objects on the earth grow smaller the
higher We ascend and the power Of satan
10 lessened. In the evening the subject
